Re: Chapters 1-3 Discussion

In an attempt to get some discussion going, I am posting some study questions from each chapter. Go ahead and post your answers, and we can discuss any questions anyone has, and also, why the correct answer is correct.

Chapter One:

1. The image transmitted by the lens is recorded by the:

a. lens elements
b. aperture
c. shutter
d. Film

2. The length of time that light strikes a light-sensitive surface when making an exposure is controlled by the:

a. aperture
b. shutter
c. viewfinder
d, lens elements

3. The term "ISO speed" is used to describe

a. the length of time the light strikes the light sensitive surface inside your camera
b. the aperture
c. a sensor's or film's sensitivity to light
d. the memory card's capacity

10. A type of shutter that is constructed with a number of small overlapping metal blades and is usually located inside the lens itself in view cameras, point and shoot cameras, and many medium-format cameras is called a:

c. a sensor's or film's sensitivity to light

4. It is best to turn a digital camera off when
d. changing or installing the memory card

5. All of the following are factors which control exposure except:
c. focus

6. If you are working with an automatic camera, and you set the aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed, you are working in which mode?
d. aperture-priority

7. When working with a manual camera, you will know the roll of film is completely exposed when:
c. the advance lever will not turn

Re: Chapters 1-3 Discussion

1. The camera mechanism that regulates the amount of time film or the sensor is exposed to light is the:
b. shutter

2. What kind of camera allows you to change the position of the lens and back relative to each other so that you can more precisely control focus or perspective?
a. A view camera

3. Which of the following would be a suggested shutter speed to stop the action of a child running, parallel to the film plane, about 25 ft from the camera?
d. 1/500 sec

4. The adjustable diaphragm which is made of metal blades that determines the amount of light entering the camera is called:
c. lens aperture

5. An f-stop which would admit a large amount of light into the camera and produce very little depth of field would be:
a. f/2

6. Which of the following numbers is not a standard f-stop?
a. f/.10

7. Which of the following f-stops would represent stopping down 1/2 stop from f/2.8?
c. f/3.4

8. What shutter speed setting keeps the shutter open as long as the release button is held down?
b. B (bulb setting)
9. Parallax error occurs in which type of camera:
b. rangefinder

10. A type of shutter that is constructed with a number of small overlapping metal blades and is usually located inside the lens itself in view cameras, point and shoot cameras, and many medium-format cameras is called a:
d. leaf shutter

5. Which of the following is not likely to affect the depth of field?
b. the shutter speed

6. A useful focusing technique to use when you want to shoot rapidly in a situation in which you can predict the approximately where, if not exactly when, action will take place is called:
b. Zone focusing

7. The relationship between focal length and magnification is such that the longer the focal length the:
c. greater the magnification

8. When buying a lens, it is a good idea to buy a lens shade that
c. matches the focal length of the lens

9. Most lenses are sharpest at an aperture closed down
b. one or two f-stops from the widest.
